AI and intellectual property: towards an articulated public domain

Protection of AI output

Can AI-generated work be protected?

Human authors only

Human authorship and inventorship stay the core of IP; no new rights for AI output

What it says

Kop argues that human authorship and inventorship remain the normative centre of IP law, that extending rights to AI output would hinder innovation, cultural diversity and fundamental freedoms, and that gaps are better handled by contracts and generous fair use than by new layers of IP.

Argues AI output should feed an articulated public domain rather than new rights.
